Thank you for your patience and support during dismissal yesterday. We understand that weather conditions can change quickly, and we are reviewing our procedures to ensure the safety of our students and families.
Moving forward, if severe weather, including lightning, is present during dismissal, students will remain safely inside the building until the lightning has passed.
If you need to check out your child during a weather-related delay, you may come into the lobby of the building. You will need to present a valid photo ID in order to retrieve your child.
When severe weather impacts dismissal, families will receive a real-time notification letting you know that students are being held inside until it is safe to resume dismissal. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these situations.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe. We appreciate your flexibility and continued partnership as we work to make dismissal as safe and efficient as possible.
